By Elliott Brack | Yes, we know. We’ve virtually omitted several subjects on which we could have been writing lately in favor of comments of different kinds about the transit question. We’ve done this since we think the transit question is the most important vote that Gwinnett has taken in the last 30 years.

By Elliott Brack | Is the Gwinnett Republican Party vital in this county any more? Have they given up?
Since 1984, no matter where you stand, you have to give the Republican Party good grades for helping its candidates win office. In many instances, the Republicans recruited potential candidates and readied them for service. As a result, the party kept seeing their candidates win races. They were ready to serve. Many of those that the party brought along are still serving in political offices of the county today.
